Tax-Free Betting Creates 100 New Jobs In Northern Ireland
A bookmaker in Northern Ireland, Sean Graham,
has declared the immediate addition of 40 jobs, a further 40 before the
World cup 2002 starts and another 20 before the end of next year thanks
to the removal of the UK's 9 per cent betting tax which will be lifted
from this Saturday onwards. Currently the company has a workforce of
around 250 people in Northern Ireland and plans to open a website in the
near future, www.seangraham.com, for interactive betting. A spokesman
for Sean Graham told the Ananova news service: 'we have the product to
compete in the global multi-billion pound market and grow substantially
with the level playing field created by the abolition of betting tax.' http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_413448.html?menu=
